95% bar and calculation in graphs of some devices

[acceleratebiz]

I guess I'm going to have to write a script to grab the values out of the xml file export and calculate the 95th percentile... not the end of the world I guess.

Just curious, about resizing the RRD and then getting 95th percentile, shouldn't I be able to see the 5min interval percentile by now at least for the past 24 hours? Or even the past hour? I'm not able to see either.

I've gone through the XML dump of the rrd files and am a little confused. I only get 5 minute interval statistics for the last 3 days and 30 minute interval stats for the last 2 weeks. So my month long calculations of bandwidth have been small part 5 minute interval, part 30 minute interval and part 2 hour interval stats?

My customers who I've been charging for overage 95% bandwidth from based on cacti have been getting away with paying less to us than they should I guess. A little disheartening...

This is the way standard rra stettings work. If you want to change this, see the links of my signature. Whether this solves your problem, I do not know. I would doubt.

Hi guys, thanks for the help so far. I'm just needing to calculate this by hand for now . So I did an xml export, but just need clarification on what the values are.

In the xml:
<rrd>
<rra>
<database>
<!-- 2005-12-05 11:00:00 EST / 1133798400 -->
<row>
<v> 7.2373984163e+06 </v>
<v> 1.3080255702e+06 </v>
</row>
<!-- 2005-12-05 13:00:00 EST / 1133805600 -->
<row>
<v> 8.0848807969e+06 </v>
<v> 1.2078303745e+06 </v>
</row>
<!-- 2005-12-05 15:00:00 EST / 1133812800 -->
<row>
<v> 8.4168070302e+06 </v>
<v> 1.1894149480e+06 </v>
</row>
<!-- 2005-12-05 17:00:00 EST / 1133820000 -->
<row>
<v> 8.3684057149e+06 </v>
<v> 1.7527794035e+06 </v>
</row>
<!-- 2005-12-05 19:00:00 EST / 1133827200 -->
<row>
<v> 7.2132144539e+06 </v>
<v> 1.5155669575e+06 </v>
</row>

now that appears fine. I imagine, for example, the last number is 1,515,566 bytes or octets/sec. Can't be bits/sec because that number is too low then. However, according to cacti's graph, this customer did not use 60mbps incoming traffic (from the interface's perspective) or more as these numbers would indicate. The graph shows the max for the month was 50.55mbps and for that time period, visually it looks like it should be 40mbps or possibly close to 45mbps. So what are these numbers in the <v> element?
